Amazing way to see Puerto Vallarta

Published on Nov, 2024

Our day with Obi was awesome. He picked my mom and I up on time at our resort. He customized for my mom who was recently injured. He has such knowledge of Puerto Vallarta. We walked away knowing so much about the area and can’t wait to come back and explore more. He even made a pit stop at a location so I could get a gift for someone at home. We highly recommend this tour.
